Funny TitBits -Cricket – Olympics – India – YOU

Cricket is a funny game don’t you think, Na I don’t mean the way India are playing at the moment in the Second test against England getting thrashed . so much for being a spin playing nation who has world-class spinners and what not .. Well here we are our spinners can’t get wickets .. while the foreigners are getting all the wickets …

Our batsmen well again can do bugger all.. they are getting out to SPINNER which they are supposed to play properly and Experts in.. Anyway forgetting about that .. Cricket is a funny .. it’s the only game where if you hit a ball out of the ground you get 6 runs or 6 points ..

But here is a thought – > There is this batsmen all padded up with a helmet on , Pads all over him , leg pads – thigh pads – gloves , protecting him all over .. and yet there is this guy sitting outside without a shirt , a beer in hand relaxing and a BALL HITS HIM.. what happens the Batsmen gets 6 runs .. and the bloke nothing .. other than a BUMP on his head … 🙂

Have You seen the Olympic opening ceremony, Especially when they all come out the athletes I mean representing their countries .. Now there are some countries which we have never heard of , The opening ceremony is the only time we hear the names . I mean at least I have not heard of some of them , Where do these countries exist and how come only during Olympics we find them, I bet the person who is announcing the names of the countries is just sitting and making up the names ..

and Here is the team from “Make-up-Istaan” or “Made-Up-istaan” .. and then I think the same man runs, changes his jacket and come out with a different flag “he-is-Back_istaaan”

I had this brain wave , We are lucky nowadays that phones have gone digital and with the advent of mobile phones things have changed a lot , But cast you mind back to the good old days .. Those big Black Telephones.. which have a Dialler and you have to put the tip of your finger to dial the number ….

Right Ne think about the emergency numbers , WHO was the intelligent person who decided on the numbers 999.. Now imagine there is an emergency , someone is laying on the road hit by a truck or something , you run to the nearest phone booth and it is that OLD dialler phone ..

You are rolling the digit 9.. and then letting it go ..

rolling again and letting it go ..

rolling the number 9 and then letting it go,.

Operator – “What’s the emergency ” ..

You– “Well its OK .. the person is DEAD now ” .. it takes so long to dial the Three numbers .. 🙂

****************

Ok Another Thing.. Has anyone of you ever walked into a room and Forgotten .. what you wanted or the Reason you came to that room to .. Right .. what do you do .. You stand and then you ask yourself

“WHY DID I COME INTO THIS ROOM” .. off course in your own mind, WHYYYYYYYYYYY.. why do you ask that ..

Because .. YOU Don’t know why you are in the ROOM .. so why will you ask yourself for HELP 🙂

PS:- Monday is here another start to the week, Have a great week people .. enjoy it to its fullest.. Hope you had a great weekend.

PSS:- I have removed the post the controversial one, Thank you to everyone who read it and commented it .. and thank you for all the emails I have received , I am blessed to have you all as my good friends .. God has been kind to me .. THANK YOU EVERYONE. I was chatting to another Good blogger who said to me , Never ever let anyone Treat you like SHIT.. and that was the reason I put the post .. 🙂 Thank you TBAB..

There is an app for iPhone/Android which downloads a circular dialer to your phone and allows you to dial numbers the old fashioned way. Wait, I am not sure if there is one but there can be one like that right? 🙂

chalo theek hai fer. But yaar next time someone says anything , We need to resolve it the other way .. I never expected you to be writing about this but rather was expecting a fone call or a email .. LEt go ……..

you remember that telegram you sent from what was that place in south somewhere, and we all got together..

Paaji duniya waise hi hai, as it used to be , mean and bad, so you got to keep the same attitude on how to handle things. its just the faces that change..

Not watching cricket these days due to overkill. Old phones– they were something else! No caller ids too. Room kya, I pick up the phone and forget whom to call. I come downstairs, do everything else, go back up and then remember why I need to go down again ;). Have a good week!

I don’t watch cricket, everybody is do corrupt, right from the players to the organizers, it no longer is a gentlemen’s game. I read some where, that when you reach some place and forget what you had come for/ or something that suddenly slips your mind, you, should go back to the place from where you came from, and immediately you would remember what you had forgotten. It always works for me.

Oh!! It happens to me all the time. Yesterday was the last day to order pop-corn for my son’s cub scouts..I suddenly remembered it. Yelled at him to go get the order paper. He said he will. Meanwhile, something else came up. we all forgot. I remembered it today morn..:( I yelled at hubby. It’s all because of you. You told him to do his homework, that’s why I forgot..LOL…

I read “Cricket” and almost moved on. That’s the ONE game that puts me off. ****Raising hands across above my head as shield**** No, actually it is the obsession around it that does.

Further down was Olympics……not too encouraging. Thank god I saw the black telephone – Yipee! I Love those phones . Too bad you decided to make fun of them. Yeah! of course what you say is true, But……**sniff**…..fine, will tell you what I mean in my next post (yeah, it IS that long 🙂 ) And the room thingy…..hmm – happens to me rarely, once in a while. Yeah Yeah Super organized person n all I am…..I know 😛

Loved the humour (Note to WordPress: Dumbo!! This is a blogger from UK !!) around country names. Seriously, its weird. Been hooked on to this iPad game on flags…….it’s got flags from countries that sound Xactly like that.

And finally, about THAT post. Arey yaar, just got back from vacation and barely glanced thru it yesterday. Thik se padne to diya hota. Chaddo yaar koi nai – Will look for my daily dose of masala elsewhere. Jokes apart, I had no clue who that dude was, nor what he wrote abt you. (wud love to know * giggle** giggle** – just for laughs) What else does crap (sh!t has already been used much) deserve? Sincere suggestion – Don’t put up posts like that. Not getting preachy or judgmental, just mean to say they aren’t worth your space – mindspace, blogspace, breathing space and in your specific case – HumourSpace !!

ohhh phewwwwwwwwwww thank god you did not get put off phewwwwwwwwwwwww 🙂

yeah thank god you saw the phone one .. noooooooooooooooooooooooo i did not make fun of the phone , I was making fun of the person who chose 999 as emergency number , it shud have been 000 🙂 or 111…

he he he

Dont worry about that post , knowing me i will get involved in another controversary soon enough so you can get the daily dose he he he he 🙂 good you dont have a clue who that dude is , its not worth the hassell I think , I am sure you are better off not knowing such people 🙂

I go to the refrigerator, open the door and completely forget ki kya lena tha, thandi hawa kha ke wapas aa jati hun. I loved the dialler phones and the phone book and directory. I so miss those days. Trang ,trang. Cricket , well , don’t follow it much now.

there was a time when all of us had that big phone and i used to know everyones number by heart, and today i keep forgettting my mobile no.
damn i am late didnt get to read the controversial post..it hurts ouch ..

This Olympic thing reminded me that the only reason I remember this little country Turkmenistan is because the pretties girl I have ever met was from there. Man! She was ethereal. Everyday I come to office and try to remember why I came to work and then realize that I can’t remember what I never knew.

Cricket Test Matches are certainly not my thing. So no comments on that!
The 999 emergency is too funny, oops serious 😀 I kind of love these old telephones. We had this type at granny’s place. It’s ring… could be heard so far off too! And what fun we used to have while dialing and re-dialling a number!
Ah! This forgetfulness… hope it does not get serious for me! 😀

you are so right about the fans being hit by ball. Remember chris gayle’s six hit a little girl in Bangalore and she had to go undergo surgery. WE had that phone at our grandparent’s place same black color. i still remember the number it is 73742. Oops, i don’t rember the emergency no, but the police, firestation and hospital were 100,101 and 102.
Many a times i open the fridge and forget why i opened it.:)
Nice read. I’m sure many will relate to the last point.

Forget,of purse we do.When I came to meet you at CCD,for a moment I forgot the reasoning had come there for.But,it’s only for a split second.
cricket…in my opinion,we play cricket so that cricketers replace regular models in Ads

It indeed was , which is funny as the pitch was specially made for spinners and we had three of them who could not use the conditions at all.. while the people who practise on pitches not suitable for spinning , made the most of it 🙂

Actually England had better spinners.The problem is we Indians just hype our players and Hardly praise others.Gramme Swann along with Saed Ajmal was one the top contender for world’s best spinner in test cricket from past 2-3 years.Panesar recently blasted Spin expert batsmen of Pakistan in UAE.Unfortunately for England Ajmal and other Pak spinners proved unplayable for them

On the other hand India had over hyped Ashwin whose 40 out of 53 test wickets were against West Indies and New Zealand in India.Harbhajan Singh who is unable to take wickets in Ranji trophy.So England was with the better spinners

Indian cricketer like politicians also just stick to their “kursi” and this make India to carry out of form past legends rather than inform players.So India have to pay price for it

Identify with all the things.
I have come to recognize some names of the not-so-famous countries. But, commendable that they get to participate in the Olympics.
And, some times I have to walk into a room twice before I remember what it was supposed to be!

Hmmm oh yeah thats why olypics is such a big occasion where the whole world comes together ..

twice is ok .. i do more than that he he he .. I have stopped a person and forgotten why i did that oooopsssssssssssssss .. I better not write more about that lest i am called in for a fact finding meeting 🙂
